should be ok at that time but the m25 is risky at any time. If theres a crash then it fucks it up badly.

Yeah, TP is the best option. If not, Heart 106.2 gives travel updated. BBC Radio 1 won't.
When you say Bank Holiday, do you mean the Saturday or the Monday? Either way, it is all down to luck really.I'd say at 10:30 it'd be pretty busy.

The later and earlier to travel, the better really. Less traffic = less likely accident = less likely hold ups because of volumes of traffic.

BBC London, or 3CR (3 Counties Radio) is probs your best bet

I'm on the 25 quite a bit and have noticed it getting a LOT worse - TBH there is never a decent time of day now, it's usually always slow at some point.

Depends on what part of the M25 you intend on going on.

It's always a bit shitty near Heathrow, especially on a bank holiday and weekends. I always find that the M25 just goes very slowly when it's busy where as other motorways stop...

Probably best. One thing that I heard on the news is less people are predicted to be driving this Bank Holiday because of the cost of fuel... Wouldn't trust that 100% though...
